Delete a strategy

delete_strategy

Destructive

Delete one of your strategies. It disappears from your strategies, Browse and your profile, its forward test (if any) stops, and its results become private. This cannot be undone from here, so confirm must be true: ask the user first.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

{
  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {
      "id": "<id>",
      "confirm": "<confirm>"
    },
    "name": "delete_strategy"
  }
}

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`id`	Yes	Strategy id, from list_strategies
`confirm`	Yes	Must be true. Only set it once the user has said to delete.

TDQS

A4.5/5.0

Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true, but the description goes further by enumerating the concrete consequences: removal from strategies/Browse/profile, the forward test stopping, results becoming private, and irreversibility. This is exactly the behavioral context an agent needs before a destructive call.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two tight sentences, front-loaded with the action and consequences before the safety instruction. Every clause earns its place, with no repetition of the title or name.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a two-parameter destructive tool with no output schema, the description covers consequences, irreversibility, and the confirmation gate. Nothing an agent needs to invoke it safely is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so both `id` and `confirm` are already documented in the schema, anchoring the baseline at 3. The description reiterates the confirm requirement but adds no format or sourcing detail for `id` beyond what the schema provides.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Specific verb (delete) plus resource (strategy) in the first sentence, and the scope is scoped to the caller's own strategies. It is cleanly distinguishable from adjacent siblings like demote_strategy or delete_portfolio.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives concrete preconditions: 'confirm must be true' and 'ask the user first', which tells the agent when it may proceed. It does not name alternatives (e.g. demote_strategy for a softer outcome) or state explicit when-not-to-use cases, so it stops short of full routing guidance.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
